“Daughters do not have to inherit the silence of their mothers.”
― Ijeoma Umebinyuo

“You apologize for
how you carry your
mother's loneliness
quietly
between your teeth.

You apologize for
how you carry your
father's sins
inside your blood.

You forgot
how to carry yourself
away for the histories
that threatens to break you
open, leaving you with grief
and unbearable weight of emptiness.

Tell me, apart from the sadness
thick as smog
living inside your chest
tell me the last time
you held your face
and saw love
staring back at you.

How does destroying yourself prove your worth to others?”
― Ijeoma Umebinyuo, Questions for Ada

“Motto"

In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times.”
― Bertolt Brecht
